		<description><![CDATA[In a New York Times article this past weekend, Phoenix Suns President Rick Welts came out and will live as an openly gay man. It&#8217;s no secret that mens&#8217; sports is not the most accepting environment in the world.

		<description><![CDATA[In the mid 1930s, German composer Carl Orff made epic music history. He set an old poem, &#8220;O Fortuna,&#8221; to music, thus creating generations of goosebumps. As the poem is so&#8230;the way it is&#8230;the musical version has taken on a life of it&#8217;s own in a way that it practically gushes intensity, pomp, and earnestness. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Acclaimed director Robert Rodriguez teamed with Nike for the new short film, &#8220;The Black Mamba,&#8221; starring Kobe Bryant. As a film, it&#8217;s pretty cool. Take a look an answer this #SportsPRChat-type question: Has Kobe returned to his pre-rape allegation level of public acceptance and marketability?

		<description><![CDATA[The Washington Wizards are playing historically bad on the road this season.  They have started 0-20, which is, suffice it to say, a brand new level of low. Obviously, this would be a trying situation for any player, let alone the #1 pick in the draft. Rookie point guard John Wall, still not old enough [...]]]></description>
